Ubitus and MacKay Memorial Hospital jointly presented a new collaboration at NVIDIA GTC Taiwan 2025, showcasing the development of AI-driven medical robots designed to enhance hospital operations. The initiative integrates NVIDIA’s AI technologies with cloud streaming capabilities to support automation, patient interaction, and logistics in healthcare environments.
The project centers on three types of medical robots co-developed by Ubitus and MacKay Memorial Hospital. These include an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for patient navigation and registration assistance, a humanoid robot with dual-arm functionality for specimen transport and material handling, and a quadruped robot designed for environmental monitoring in high-risk or hard-to-reach areas. Each robot operates using NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and is equipped with the Llama 4 large language model and NVIDIA Riva to support natural language interactions. The robots also incorporate NVIDIA ACE technologies to deliver customizable digital human interfaces.
Virtual testing and deployment planning were conducted using NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. This allowed the developers to simulate hospital workflows and environments, helping to reduce pre-deployment risks and accelerate the integration of robotic systems into hospital operations.
Ubitus CEO Wesley Kuo stated that the collaboration positions MacKay Memorial Hospital as the first medical facility in Taiwan to implement NVIDIA B200 technology. The hospital intends to expand the deployment of these robotic systems across multiple care settings, including emergency, inpatient, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
MacKay Memorial Hospital representatives noted improvements in workflow efficiency and patient services since the integration of the robotic systems. Staff reported practical benefits in areas such as navigation support, medical logistics, and safety inspections.
